While I was playing the Baby Brother Boogie Fame Game this weekend, my 73-year old memory-impaired Pop decided he wanted to get in on the fun and try to test our pop culture knowledge.

"How about Mr. Walker?" he shouted. My brother and I were completely stumped. We had no idea who Mr. Walker was. Happy with his victory, my dad smiled, "He was your teacher in high school."

There were two problems with this little wrinkle in the game:
1. Mr. Walker wouldn't really strictly be considered a "celebrity," mostly because...
2. There was no Mr. Walker. No such person.

Try as we could, we could not convince my dad that yes, we did in fact remember all the teachers we had in high school and there wasn't a "Mr. Walker" in the bunch. Rather than shame the old coot by pulling out the yearbook, we decided to move on with the game.

About fifteen minutes later, Pop shouts out "Henry Doherty!" In this case, he was referring to the extremely famous Father Doherty, priest at the local Catholic Church. Yet another well-known celeb from the pages of Us Weekly.

Games are always more fun when my dad's involved.

I had 2 different Mr. Walkers in high school.
Not that that is in any way important, but you just reminded me and stuff.
